1980 Map of Corsica Lake

About this map

Choteau Creek winds through this rural South Dakota landscape, defining the character of the southeastern corner of Douglas County during the late 1970s. The map highlights the localized geography of the region, anchored by the waters of Corsica Lake and its adjacent Corsica City Park. This area is marked by long-standing community centers, including two Townhall locations and several religious and commemorative sites such as St John Ch and the Old Ebenezer Cem near the valley floor. The map provides a clear look at the agricultural township structure of the era, where place names like Grandview and Walnut Grove identify the varied terrain. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Valley sits near St Peters Ch, illustrating the proximity of early prairie settlements and their parish churches.
